As part of the HEROES® project, STROHHALM E.V. offers training meetings for young men with a family history of migration, who later work as role models in peer workshops with other young people on topics such as equality, honour, culture and human rights.

The overriding goal of HEROES® is to create free spaces for young people of all genders, (in particular) from different cultures, in which they are supported in their personality and identity formation with the help of intensive pedagogical support through the development of their own values and attitudes.

During the approximately one-year training period at HEROES®, young people can experience and learn that it is possible to reflect on and reject restrictive, exclusionary and violent aspects of any culture without fear of losing their culture of origin and without being ground down between contradictory demands.
